say that blood is thicker than water, that our relatives
important to us than others. Ev&eryone was so kind to the
old lady on her
birthday. Surely her daughter would make an even
bigger effort to please her?
THE PRESENT
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
It was the old lady’s birthday.
She got up early to be ready for the post.
From the second floor flat she could see the postman when he came down the
street, and the little boy from the ground floor brought up her letters on the rare occasions when
anything came.(1)
&&& Today she was sure there would be something.
Myra wouldn’t forget her mother's birthday, even if she seldom
wrote at other times. Of course Myra was busy.
Her husband had been made Mayor, and Myra herself
had got a medal for her work for the aged.(2)
The old lady was proud of Myra, but Enid was the daughter she loved. Enid
had never married, but had seemed content to live with her
mother, and teach in a primary school round the
One evening, however, Enid said, “I’ve arranged for Mrs. Morrison
to look after you
for a few days, Mother. Tomorrow I have to go into hos&pital—just a minor operation. (3) I’ll
soon be home.”
&&& In the morning she went, but never came back—
she died on the oper&ating table. Myra came to the funeral, and in her
efficient way arranged for Mrs. Morrison to come in and light the fire and give
the old lady her breakfast.
&&& Two years ago that was, and since then Myra had
been to see her mother three times, but her husband
&&& The old
lady was eighty today. She had put on her best
dress. Per&haps— perhaps Myra might come. After all, eighty was a special
birthday, another decade lived or endured just
as you chose to look at it.(4)
&&& Even if
Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two
spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was ex&cited—like a child. She would
enjoy her day.
&&& Yesterday
Mrs. Morrison had given the flat an extra clean, and today she had brought a
card and a bunch of marigolds when she came to do the breakfast. Mrs. Grant
downstairs had made a cake, and in the afternoon she was going down there to
tea. The little boy, Johnnie, had been up with a packet of mints, and said he
wouldn't go out to play until the post had come.(5)
&&& “I guess you’ll get lots and lots of presents,” he said. “I
did last week when I was six.”
&&& What would she like? A pair of slippers perhaps.
Or a new cardigan. A cardigan would be lovely. Blue's such a pretty colour. Jim
had always liked her in blue. (6) Or a table lamp. Or a book, a travel book,
with pictures, or a little clock, with clear black numbers. So many lovely
&&& She stood by the window, watching. The postman
turned round the corner on his bicycle. Her heart beat fast. Johnnie had seen
him too and ran to the gate.
&&& Then clatter, clatter up the stairs. Johnnie
knocked at her door.
&&& “Granny, granny,” he shouted, “I’ve got your
&&& He gave her four envelopes. Three were unsealed
cards from old friends. The fourth was sealed, in Myra’s writing. The old lady
felt a pang of disappointment.
&&& “No parcel, Johnnie?”
&&& “No, granny.”
&&& Maybe the parcel was too large to come by letter
post. That was it. It would come later by parcel post. She must be patient.
&&& Almost reluctantly she tore
the envelope open. Folded in the card was a piece of paper. Written on the card
was a message under the printed Hap&py Birthday—Buy yourself something nice
with the cheque, Myra and Harold.(7)
&&& The cheque fluttered to the floor like a bird
with a broken wing. Slow&ly the old lady stooped to pick it up.
Her present, her lovely present. With trembling fingers she tore
it into little bits.
